I never felt Fincher's THE KILLER got much of a shake before slipping to Netflix two years ago. So for The Reveal, I wrote about how the world's fussiest director made a film about human fallibility. thereveal.film/david-finche...

After the Hunt: A world where communication is so dead that body language is the only thing left of value. And yet, even when pleading for something within arm’s reach, all you’ll find is a cold husk on both ends of the table.
Garfield’s scary good here. Very gross performance!

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

30 years ago, Katherine Bigelow made a sci-fi flop that changed her career for the better
Strange Days is a noir-soaked science-fiction thriller set against a backdrop of racial tension, police brutality, sexual assault, and disruptive tech

Now seeing the idea of wanting someone so bad that your bodies become one like from Queer. Once again, I see you Luca!
I’m reading Call Me by Your Name and there’s long stretches of detailed emotion that feels plucked right out of Queer. I see you Luca!

Lurker was an unbelievably vapid, egregiously superficial and shallow experience. I loved it!
Théodore Pellerin is also such a star. The way he can switch through various modes of narcissism is crazy good.

James Gunn has this special ability to walk this line of unabashed sincerity with a super corny presentation that gets me so emotionally overwhelmed. That Kent family montage paired with the punk rocker song in Superman is a perfect example. Could feel my eyes start to swell up

I’m on the cover of @metroweekly.bsky.social this week with a piece about Brokeback Mountain’s profound personal and political importance.
20 years after its initial release, the film still reminds us why we refuse to live in loneliness, and why we fight.

“Yet, though the rise of video rentals shrank the public space of movies by keeping more viewers at home, the video store arguably expanded the public space of movies by its ubiquity, covering the commercial landscape much more densely than movie theatres did.”
Video Stores, Revival Houses, and the Future of Movies
The documentary “Videoheaven” and MOMA’s series “A Theater Near You” consider how people watch films and why it matters.

I was lukewarm on both of their features, but directors dipping into documentary work is my favorite thing ever sooo
Danny & Michael Philippou give us details on their next movie: a documentary about Deathmatch Wrestling
“It’s extreme performance art with glass, barbed wire, thumbtacks. We had been shooting it between Talk to Me & Bring Her Back... hopefully, that’ll premiere early next year.”

Was window shopping at Abercrombie and two separate people thought I was a worker. Not sure what that says about me. And why did I help one of them find the size they were looking for???
